Education/GSE Research Day

GSE Research Day is March 14th 2014 this year and we hope to open our doors to the wider UC Berkeley community doing education-related research or work.

We look forward to a stimulating, fun, and low key day of sharing and dialog on the thing we all care about – education!

CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS

As usual, Education Research Day supports thoughtful dialog about educational issues through a range of presentation formats – including paper presentations, poster sessions, consultation roundtables, group presentations, interactive sessions, and mini-workshops (see below for description)

As organizers, we will attempt to accommodate all presentations that are relevant to education, proposed by a member of the UC Berkeley community, and sufficiently fleshed out to benefit from public conversation. We especially encourage research groups and teams to submit a panel proposal together!

New feature! This year presenters have a unique opportunity that has not been offered in years past: the option to submit their papers for publication consideration at the Berkeley Review of Education (BRE). Selected papers will appear in a special edition of the Spring/Summer 2014 Issue.

DUE ON-LINE by 5pm, March 8, 2014. CLICK HERE!

Presentation Formats

A. Paper Presentations: Paper sessions provide authors an opportunity to present on a panel an abbreviated version of their work and field questions and comments. The ‘paper’ presented may be a finished product or a work in progress.

C.Consultation Roundtable: Consultation Roundtable allow maximum interaction with the presenters. Individual presenters are assigned numbered tables in a large meeting room where interested persons may gather for discussion with the presenter about his or her project or paper.

D. Group Presentations: This option provides several presenters the opportunity to discuss their work together and field questions and comments. Ideal for research groups, centers, or initiatives.

E.Interactive Sessions: This option allows presenters to pilot or receive feedback on a designed artifact, e.g., a computer simulation, robot, questionnaire, or group activity etc. Attendees are invited to work with the artifact or data as directed by the presenter/researcher.

F.Mini Workshops: Tis option provides an opportunity for presenters to share useful “how to’s” related to their work in education or graduate study. This is a presentation in which others can learn from your experience.
